Hey Seth. I'm not in Minnesota, but I'm still riding every day. Although there was a pretty heavy snow fall last week which kept me off the roads. Just way to slippery with 4 inches of snow on the roads before the plows came out. Once they went by it was ok.
Cheers from Newfoundland and be safe out there on the white stuff.

Here in Perth, Western Australia we are fortunate that we can ride all year round, but this is now the start of Summer, so it may get a bit warm at times (February around 40 degrees C).
This weekend we are off to Augusta, 320km south, for a toy-run which runs 95km to Busselton,
(Is the the longest toy-run for motorcycles in the world?)
then a 228km return ride to Perth. So all up 640km.
regards
Al

Still ryding here in Portland, Oregon. Sometimes wet, sometimes cool but, overall, good year-round ryding. As a matter of fact, I'll be with the Patriot Guards this afternoon honoring a fallen Hero.

Not me: I parked mine on October 15th in the garage at my new house. I figured it would snow around moving day (Oct 29th) and I was right--It snowed ON moving day. I definately would not think of riding my two-wheeler in the snow--and would be tempted to ride Spyder---but have not---because I am not confident about what the drivers around me will do. In Alaska, most people drive pickups and SUV's. The thought of one of those running into me or running me off the road--is just a little more chance than I am willing to take. I will be driving in late March--the usual time when the snow melts off the road. Actually this year, I am guessing it will be more like mid March instead of late--because I got off the side of the mountain, and don't have to wait for the ice to melt from my curvy steep driveway. The new driveway is straight and has a slight incline that I can deal with. Im still in a secluded place, with woods around me, but I hopefully can drive my Spyder earlier next season. Time will tell. Seth is definately a brave sport.

Still ryding and plan to all Winter depending on the deep pow and ice. Wind chills got down to 4 above zero on the way home tonight. I've opted for the snowmobile gear at this point. Toasty while on the road..but cold walking into work from the parking lot.
Actually very impressed thus far with the Kumho Ecsta AST back tire. It doesn't have a lot of grip in the snow but enough to keep me on the road thus far. Running 35-40 PSI.

I'm ryding. We generally get some nice ryding days in every month in south west BC. Get a lot of rain, too. Take the good with the bad, I guess.

got about a foot of snow, the roads are icy as snot in areas, the sand bags are helping out. I finally hit triples on the run to work yesterday, too many variables before that. Once we get a day that gets about 20f I think it will get the roads black again. I am riding at 630pm and 6am so it pretty much the coldest times of the day/
I can believe there are this many northern people riding I would have put this on the normal area.
Glad forest got in on this, 40 in the morning maybe, you FL riders are smart to live down there.

Still Riding Here
Still riding in Oklahoma except when wind gusts 30 - 40 mph.

Rode Saturday, Sunday, and Monday with temps between mid 40's and mid 60's. Actually some very nice riding days.
Seth, you and tatt2r and Groundeffect and others that ride in those conditions amaze me. I have ridden in the mid 30's and froze my tail off and I have ridden dirt bikes in a few inches of snow. But just the thought of riding a street bike in below freezing temps with snow on the roads scares me to death. Y'all are truly in a class by yourselves.

Still Riding in SW Ontario
The snow is falling heavily about an hour up the 401, but other than temperatures hovering around 30 degrees F the roads are still clear here and I am still riding.
Plan on a three hour drive up the 401 to Toronto on Friday if the temperature is above 30 degrees and there is no snow forecasted for the snow belt area around London Ontario.
